Well you can find all the guns you need on military personnel, and in the national guard base. So I don't see why you should still need to buy guns in endgame. And if you really need to buy weapons under liberal policies then try the oubliette. I don't think the swords would be outlawed.

Also, in an perfect liberal society there's no such thing as guns.

Actually, I'm pretty sure 5 is the maximum number of meetings until you start losing control of your schedule. During my first playthrough though I had 6 or 7 meetings daily for my founder, so I think after five it becomes a dice roll whether or not you end up blowing off one of your appointments.

So yesterday I decided to write myself up some super armor to learn how to add in new items, then I got an idea after watching iron man 2 again to make a super hero squad to fight the arch-conservative agenda. So this morning I changed the name of the armor to "PwrSuit" and now I'm wondering what I should do for the repulsor blasters.

It didn't take me too long to figure out the armor tags, but I've noticed that weapons are a bit of a different beast as far as complexity. So I guess what I'm asking for are some ideas for what I should add to this weapon, as well as some protips to help me avoid making the weapon OP. I just want friggin laserbeams coming out of their friggin hands, not a group of bipedal tanks.

Also I still haven't thought up a name for this squad, so any help there would also be appreciated.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

I usually start my fort by digging 2x2 stairwell down 1z, then to a long corridor full of cage traps and the barracks for my town guard squad. At the end of said corridor is the main stairwell leading to the fortress.

Above ground I wrap an entry hall 2 wide around the first set of stairs at least once, then a bridge spanning a simple moat, then another wall on the other side of the moat. Between the bridge and the stairs are some cage traps, then a few pitdogs for the [trap:avoid] currs. Behind the first staircase is a ramp up to my sniper nest barracks which is fortified, and above that my main vanguard of axedwarves to be deployed as a sturdy and industrious front line. And for good measure I always place my depot offsite, usually at the entrance to my candy-mines.

I've done this a few times but I usually scrap my forts before I get a siege because as soon as I get comfortable I want to start again and add something new to the plan. The more i learn about the game, the more I upgrade my defense strategy(which is already in it's fifth generation) Because of this I've yet to see if my xbowdwarves will shoot at another z-level. So if anyone knows, I'd appreciate it if you told me.
